Starting on the outside pole will be 2014 Serie ACT Champion Alex Labbe of St-Albert, QC

2014 American Canadian Tour Late Model Champion Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. of Hudson, NH claimed his fourth career Booth Bros./H.P. Hood Pole Award as he set the fast time of the day with a 13.114 second lap at Barre’s Thunder Road on Saturday, October 11.

The Indonesian driver, that this year already got on the podium in Brno and showed a steadily improving trend throughout the whole season, finally made the most of his potential clinching a dominating success.

Sergei Afanasiev will be the poleman for the first race of the Auto GP weekend in Valencia, that will start today at 1.35 PM.

The Russian driver posted a 1’23”436, a laptime that allowed him to take the top spot in the final stages of a thrillingly-close session that saw the top three drivers packed in just 0”08 and 12 competitors in just eight tenths. So the DAMS driver managed to keep momentum after his impressive performances in Oschersleben, and got an ideal start to a weekend where his aim is to further reduce the gap from championship leader Kevin Ceccon.

Luca Filippi still leads the pack in Valencia. The SuperNova driver climbed at the top of the timesheet in the first minutes of the second Free Practice session, posting a 1’23”702 on used tyres that hints to a great potential for tomorrow’s Qualifying.

With just two events to the end of the championship some drivers are looking to the Valencia weekend as a key step in the chase for the title, there’s another driver for whom the Spanish weekend will be a very special one.

Race Direction considered the Italian driver responsible for the crash that immediately after the start took both him and poleman Fabrizio Crestani out of the race, and decided to punish him as a consequence.

The Russian driver, who just two weeks ago had to miss the Donington round due to problems in obtaining the visa, passed from bad to good clinching a dominating win (the second of his season) in the first race of the Oschersleben weekend.

Fabrizio Crestani grabbed pole position for the Oschersleben round of Auto GP.

The Lazarus driver was the quickest after a thrilling session, stopped with 3 minutes to go due to an accident for Francesco Dracone. Qualifying saw many lead changes: Adrien Tambay topped the sheets with the first set of tyres, then at mid-session with the second set Kevin Ceccon took the lead first, then pipped by Sergei Afanasiev.

It’s fighting time already for the Auto GP drivers: in the first Free Practice session, the guys decided to give their best from the very first laps: as a result, six drivers are packed in just half a second and the track record (a 1’19”9 that had been posted by F2) has already been beaten by 2 seconds.

Dutch driver-team combination Daniël De Jong and MP Motorsport enjoyed a positive debut in the Auto GP Championship at Donington Park Grand Prix Circuit over the weekend, 16th/17th July, with the 19-year-old taking a best result of sixth position during an extremely wet first race.

He already won Race 2 in Brno and doing it again in today’s Sprint Race in Donington he became the first Auto GP driver to clinch two race wins in 2011: Samuele Buttarelli boasted a really amazing drive, leading the pack from flag to flag and controlling the race like a veteran despite feeling the pressure of Adam Carroll behind him.

Racing at home had a very good effect on Jon Lancaster and SuperNova Racing

The british pair emerged from a treacherous Race 1 in Donington with a win for Jon and a one-two result for the team thanks to the 2nd place clinched by Luca Filippi, boasting both some great driving and a good strategy by the team. Read the rest of this entry »

The brit, that until this morning had never driven the car prepared by Campos Racing, managed to keep all his rivals at bay in Qualifying clinching pole position with a 1’16”891 that left the closest of them all, Luca Filippi, 3 tenths adrift.

It’s still Lazarus on top in Donington, as the Italian team topped the sheets again in the second Free Practice session.

If in the first session Fabrizio Crestani was the quickest, this time the team boasted a one-two, with Fabio Onidi emerging as the quickest with 1’17”206, a laptime that left his team mate 2 tenths adrift. Behind them was Samuele Buttarelli, who confirmed the impressive morning shape with a 1’17”861 that was enough to keep at bay the SuperNova pair.

Fabrizio Crestani and Lazarus started the Donington weekend in the best possible way.

The Italian driver posted the fastest time in the first Free Practice, being the only one to break the 1’18 mark with 1’17”841. The team managed by Tancredi Pagiaro crowned a very good performance with a third place by Fabio Onidi, less than 3 tenths adrift from his team mate. In between them was Kevin Ceccon, at his first experience in Donington but already at ease with the Ombra Racing car.

He got back to full steam training in one month and a week, against the three months that the doctors where expecting: Adrian Campos jr. made a really quick recovery, and he will be back in Auto GP already from the Donington round. Read the rest of this entry »
